Thank You, Heavenly Father, for allowing me to wake up next to the love of my life. my wonderful Husband We come in agreement today to worship you and thank you for all you done for us, and will continue to do upon our marriage and our family. Encamp the fire of your holy spirit upon our family and our love ones. We pray that youll bless all the people in the world according to Your perfect will.

Lord bless the hands of the Drs and nurses who will render their care for Him. I pray for a fast recovery. Bless all my beautiful Facebook friends in their every need. In Jesus name Amen. I hope youll enjoy this wonderful couples devotion. Prayer at Its Simplest It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, . . . who stretches out the heavens like a curtain. ISAIAH 40:22 Ask almost any gathering of Christians to name one thing they wish they knew more about and prayer would be near the top of every list. I understand that. Yet perhaps in longing for those far-off secrets of spiritual success, we overlook prayers simplicity and beauty. Perhaps in searching for answers, we forget that prayer in its simplest form is a reverent conversation with God. One of my favorite places to go on our little piece of property in the woods is the picnic table down by our fire pit. I often find myself there, not on the bench, but sitting on the table itself—looking out at the sky, the treetops, the hills in the distance. Usually within the first minute or two of leaning back on my open palms, I find myself reflecting upon God, His greatness and the beauty of His creation. Its easy to see from my picnic table: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). We are His. We are here only because . . . He is. Its so simple, isnt it? The perspective from my picnic table says that it is. Perhaps its because all we see sometimes are sidewalks and skyscrapers. Shopping centers and new construction. Office walls and commuter traffic. In the midst of a noisy, hectic life, we dont notice the pinks and purples of a morning sunrise. Our prayer life takes the staccato form of our non-stop lifestyle, with all the depth of a coffee-break conversation. But what if you knew that all it took to kick-start your prayer experience with God was to locate one of His billowy clouds floating effortlessly across a city skyline . . . and begin to remember who made it . . . and who made you . . . and who has the affairs of your marriage and family safely in the grasp of His loving, caring arms? DISCUSS Do you make prayer harder than it is? What helps remind you most often that God is there? PRAY Pray simply but deeply. Yes, you can do both at the same time, you know
